Interfores with Street Council Bluffs, after enjoying a spell of almost springlike weather, was treated to a real touch of winter yesterday, and the heaviest fal) of snow so far (his season. The storm finterfered to a considerable ex- tent with the motor service, but with the ald of ita two large sweepers the motor company managed to keep its lines open, and by evening the cars on the Omaha line were running aimost on schedule time. The worst place on the Omaha line was at Twentieth street, where there was a big drift in the cut most of the day. The company, however, kept a large force of men at that point shoveling and succecded in keeping the track clear. The small cars on the park line were unable during the heaviest part of the storm to make the as- cent of the hill on Graham avenue, but this was practically the only place where the service came to a standstill. Even here this was remedied after several trips of the big sweeper over the line. « Settles with Motor Company. The personal injury damage suit of Mrs. John Hill against the motor company, | which had been assigned for trial today in the district court, was settled out of court yesterday and dismissed. Mrs. Hill sued for $5,000, and the company effected a set- tlement for $400. Mrs. Hill, who Is the mother of the janitor of the county court- house, was thrown to the pavemant while alighting from a car in front of the court- house about two years ago. Injurles to her head resulted in the loss of the senses of tasting and smelling. Giving Away Stoves.

The number of translents given assistance by the county has also been less this winter than year. The decrease in the number of fam- | flles recelving monthly assistance from th county is attributed to the fact that all kinds of work was plentiful at gocd wages in Council Bluffs last year and that there | has also been, comparatively speaking, plenty of work for the ordinary laborer duriog the winter months. At present Overseer Miller is caring for forty-two families, which receive on an average about $12 worth of fuel, groceries and meat each month. The county, In ad- dition to furnishing the necessaries of lite for them, Is called upon to pay the rent for about tep familles, eyery month. The average rent of the houses occupled by . wuch tamilles is 35. Some families receive fuel only but this class of the county's wards s small in number. The demand for fuel this winter has been above the average. Thiy condi- tion was due to the inability of poor people to buy coal in small quantities at any price and they were forced to call upon overseer of the poor for assistance For several years the calls for aid from translents has been steadily decreasing and Overseer Miller states that the great- ©est_expense the county fs put to in dealing with this class of paupers is in providing transportation. Every precaution is taken by the overseer to avold furnishing ald to | famllies the heads of which are able to | work, although it is Impossible, Mr. Milier states, to prevent being taken in some- times. As soon, however, as he learns that the man of the family is able to work if he would, all aid is shut off. The familics recelving steady aid from the county are | those of widows chiefly, the children being | 1n most cases too young to work.

PRESENT ORIGINAL OPERA [ INMATES Effort Perry to Extend Limits of City of ‘ail Beeause Acting Mayor the Mayor Signs Ordinance. Instead of (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 3.—(Special.)—A somewhat unique entertainment connected with a special excursion party took place this evening at Mitchellville. The girls of the State Industrial school presented a complete opera before a select audience composed almost exclusively of state offi- clals and their families. The opera was written, both words and music, by the su- perint-ndent of the industrial school, F. P, Fitzgerald. He has made a wonderful suc- cess with music at the Institution, having organized two good orchestras and devot- ing much time to vocal musie, in addition to the industrial work, which has not been neglectéd. As a rosult of the introduction of music in place of harsher methods of in- teresting ihe girls in their surroundings, the school has been completely transformed in four years, and is now a model of its kind. The opera presented at the audito- rium of the school tonight was “The Queen's Messenger,” and about ity of the girls of the school took part. A special train over the Interurban electric road car- ried about 100 persons from Des Moines, headed by Governor Cummins and the state officors and the members of the State Board of Control. it was strictiy a private prea- entation of the opera, and"it is regarded as probable that the girls of the Industrial school will at an early date come to Des Moines to present the opera here. It is the first time anything of the kind has ever been attempted at any reformatory in the state or elsewhere, and the experiment 1s regarded as entirely new. State Dalry Commissioner Wright and others went from here to Cedar Rapids to- day to attend the annual state meeting of the Towa Dairymen's a#sociation in session there. S0 lers’ Exemption Attorney General Mullan has rendered an important decision relative to the ex- emption on the property of former solulers and their widows and orphans. The home- steads of soldiers have been exempt for many yearé from taxation, but last winter the legislature provided that all the prop- erty of soldiers and thelr widows to the extent of $300 shall be exempt from as- sessment. A question arose as to whether this exemption was applicable to the taxes of 1902, und the attorney general was held that, inasmuch as the assessments had been mede and completed and the taxes placed against all property before the Jaw went into force, At will not apply until the taxes of 1903 are callected. Ciretlar to Manufactare The St Louis commission has just fs- sued a circular to the manufacturers ol the state urging upon them that they make arrangements for a manufacturing exhibit at St. Louis. 8. N. Leach, the member { from the Reventh district, 1s in charge of | this part of the work, 'and finds that there | 18 no organization of manufacturers through which the exhibit can be secured and thus it Is mecessary to work for individual In- terest In the lowa exhibit. Some effort is being made to form a manufacturers' as- sociation in Towa as the result of the work being done in this direction. New lowa Corperatio The following new corpogation papers were filed with the secretary of the state today: Nelson Gas Engine and_Automobile com- pany of Harlan, capital §0000; T. K. Nel- Pon, president; S. G. Dummon, Secretary Farmers' Mutual Telephone company ¢ Osceola, capital §1,100; J. L. Baldwin, pres- ident; C. B. Eggleston, secretary Farmers' Mutual Telephone company of Postville. capital $,000; Evan Swenson, president; H. D. Webb, secretary City Expansion Falled. The lowa supreme court decided today that the efforts of the voters of the city of Perry to expand the town falled by rea son of irregularities in the preliminary proceedings. It appears that at a regular meeting of the council a resolution wa passed looking to the annexation of terri- tory. Adjournment was taken three or four times and finally the resolution or.ler- ing the election passed at a time when both the clerk and mayor were absent and an acting mayor and acting clerk signed the resolution. On this the mayor ordered the election. But the court holds that this is one of the cases where the:resolu- tlon shculd have been submitted to the mayor for his approval, but it was never even submitted to him. A temporary chair- man might authenticate a resolution, but not give approval whete such approval is essential. The mayor cannot thus escape the duiles of his office, so the court holds, in an opinfon by Justice Deemer, sustain- ing tke ruling of Judge Applegate. Those who elected the mayor are entitled to his deliberate judgment as to the advisability of the proposed action properly and legally expressed, and the other members of the council should not be allowed to hurry a matter through without giving the mayor time and opportunity as provided by the statute for the exercise of his preroga- | tives. Any other rule would be fraught | with great danger and be provocative of intolerable mischief. The annexation pro- ceedings cre therefore declared to have been illegal. About 200 persons live in the | annexed territory surrounding Perry Date for Tax Ferrets, In deciding another of ferret cases which come a date was fixed today, for the first ‘ime, | from which the five-year limit is to run within which tax ferrets may operate. This was in a case from Blackbawk county where a matter of a few days amounted to a great deal in taxes on hidden property The court holds that the time limit begins to run for the five-year period from the first Monday in March of each year at which time the assessors are required to | turn over their books (o the county of- clals. the many tax before the court Court Decislo, The following were the decielons of the court tod Robert Donnelly, appellant Mitchell, Pocahontas county recovery of property levied opinion_by McClain.

Army for Indian with Superior TUCSON, Ariz, Feb. 3.—Word has just reached here that the Twelfth battalion of Mexican regulars was almost annihilated in a battle with the Yaquis, whom they were pursuing, after having defeated them in a fight at San Marcial. The regulars were caught in a trap and thefr retreat was cut off by a second band of whose existence they kmew nothing. There were 500 eoldiers in the battalion and it tho report of the eurvivors of the fight who reached San Marcial is true, a many of that number were killed The reports, however, are believed to be exaggerated. According to last previous accounts, the regulars were in a critical condition, hav- altfes are not known. The Twelfth bat- talion has been stationed for svme time at Potam Rio Yaqui. It was made up of soldiers trained to fight the Indians in the bushes and was | officered by some of the best men in the service in Sonora.
